Why You Need A Shacket This Year

Shirt jackets or “Shackets” were allllll the rage last year, and I am happy to report that they are alive and well and all over your favorite retailers again this year! It took me a few failed purchases last year to finally find the right shacket (above), but once I did, I was fully in on the trend. I tried a few that were itchy, not flattering and too expensive. But if you find the *right* one, trust me, they are a great piece to have in your closet!

{Like I said in my shacket post from earlier this year} The great thing about the Shacket is that it is not quite as heavy as a coat, but it will keep ya warm and add a little extra dimension to your winter look. It is also light weight enough for continued use for the Spring, when it is just cool enough to need an extra layer. I am literally wearing one as I write this, inside, and it doesn’t feel bulky or *too much.*

Back to the part about the extra dimension >> I added my amazing new Urban Outfitters shirt jacket on top of the winter white look below and it is one of my favorite looks to date. I can’t think of an outfit in recent history that has gotten more likes, comments, DMs and in-person compliments than this look! Layer, layer, layer this time of year to take your fits to the next level.

I really loved when I paired the below shacket with a slip dress, knee socks and boots last year! Honestly, this versatile wardrobe piece lends itself to so many fun outfit ideas! Start with the shacket, and build the outfit underneath from there. I promise it’ll be fun!

    I love this! The gray one that you paired with the black slip dress is adorable. I want it. It looked perfect with the knee socks. The cutest outfit!
